This zippered travel pouch will have you easily crocheting on your next road trip, while you're sitting at the beach, or wherever you adventure. Its small size means you can grab and go, while it still fits multiple crochet hooks, yarn needles, safety pins, safety scissors, and measuring tape! At least, those are my go-to travel needs when crocheting away from the comforts of my couch. Bonus: it fits pens and pencils for other hobbies and pouch needs.
